3.4 Out Tutelary Spirit

Absolute Unity and the IP are Existents
- Some of these Existents stay at rest while their Hypostases come into being

The vegetative principle in humans
- These people are worse than those living life guided by Sense
- They only gratify themselves with food and procreation
- A singer (who doesn't observe civic/secular virtue) is someone living by Sense, and are more like a songbird than human. Kings whose only vice is unreason are like eagles, futile/flighty visionaries are high-soaring birds

A tutelary spirit is our Rational Being, provided to us by the Spirit of the here and now
- the one Spirit is a Prior of the IP
- spirits are responsible for guiding our lives
- The more you live according to reason, the higher quality your soul becomes, as will be your next life
- Our personal intellects/higher phase of the soul are a combination of our own acting force + tutelary spirit

Timaeus refers to the tutelary spirit as 'the power which consummates the chosen life'

For the souls which attain the highest quality/grade after their life, some live in the world of Sense, some in the higher sphere
- Those in the Sense world inhabit the sun or other planets (heaven?)

Some tutelary spirits are evil or foolish, which is how evil people may appear good, or good people appearing evil

Why do minorities have to ruin everything? Why don't they just make their own stuff if the don't like ours? Why do they go around looking for things to destroy?
